Preface

This bulletin p rov ides results o f a May 1973 survey o f occupational earnings in the Atlanta, G eo rg ia , Standard Metropolitan Statistical A r e a (C layton, Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton, and Gwinnett Counties). The survey was made as part o f the Bureau o f Labor S ta t is t ic s ' annual area wage survey p rogram . The p rogram is designed to y ie ld data fo r individual m etropo litan a r e a s , as w e l l as national and reg iona l estimates for a l l Standard Metropolitan A reas in the United States, excluding A laska and H awa ii , (as defined by the U.S. O ff ice o f Management and Budget through N ovem b er 1971).

A m a jo r consideration in the a rea wage survey p rogram is the need to descr ibe the l e v e l and m ovem ent o f wages in a v a r ie ty o f labor m arkets , through the analysis o f ( l ) the le v e l and distribution o f wages by occupation, and (2 ) the m ovem ent o f wages by occupational ca tegory and sk il l l e v e l . The p rogram d e ve lops in form ation that m ay be used for many purposes, including wage and sa la ry adm inistration, co l le c t iv e bargain ing, and assistance in determ ining plant location. Survey results a lso are used by the U .S . Department o f Labor to make wage determ inations under the Serv ice Contract Ac t o f 1965.

Curren t ly , 96 areas are included in the p rogram . (See l is t o f areas on inside back c o v e r . ) In each a rea , occupational earnings data are co l lected annually. In formation on establishment pract ices and supplementary wage benef i ts , co l lec ted e v e r y second y ea r in the past, is now obtained e v e r y third yea r .

Each yea r a fter a l l individual a rea wage surveys have been completed, two sum mary bulletins are issued. The f i r s t brings together data for each metropo litan area surveyed. The second sum mary bulletin presents national and reg iona l es t im ates , p ro jected f ro m individual m etropo litan area data.

The Atlanta survey was conducted by the Bureau 's reg ional o f f ice in Atlanta, Ga. , under the genera l d irec t ion o f Donald M. C ruse , Assistant Regional D ir e c to r fo r Operations. The survey could not have been accomplished without the cooperation o f the many f i rm s whose wage and sa la ry data provided the basis fo r the stat ist ica l in form ation in this bulletin. The Bureau wishes to express s incere appreciation fo r the cooperation rece ived .

Note:Current reports on occupational earnings and supplementary wage p r o

v is ions in the Atlanta a rea are availab le fo r contract cleaning (July 1971), hospitals (August 1972), and l i fe insurance (January 1972).

Introduction

This a rea is 1 of 96 in which the U.S. Department of L a b o r 's Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings on an areaw ide basis annually.1 F ie ld rep resen ta t ives , in persona l v is i ts to establishments in the area , co l le c t employment, earnings, establishment p rac t ices , and re la ted benefits in form ation e v e ry third yea r . In each of the intervening y ea rs , in form ation on employment and earnings is co l lec ted by m a il questionna ires from establishments partic ipating in the prev ious survey. Th is bulletin presents the results o f the la tter type survey.

In each area , data are obtained f ro m represen tat ive establ ishments within six broad industry d iv is ions : Manufacturing; t ra n s portation, communication, and other public util i t ies ; wholesa le trade; re ta i l trade; finance, insurance, and r ea l estate; and s e rv ic e s . M a jo r industry groups excluded f ro m these studies are government o p e ra tions and the construction and ex trac t ive industries. Establishments having few e r than a p resc r ib ed number of w o rk e rs are omitted because they tend to furnish insuffic ient employm ent in the occupations studied to w arran t inclusion. Separate tabulations are prov ided fo r each of the broad industry d iv is ions which m eet publication c r i te r ia .

These surveys are conducted on a sample basis. The sam pling p rocedures invo lve deta iled s tra t i f ica t ion of a l l establishments within the scope of an individual a rea survey by industry and number of em p loyees . F ro m this s tra t i f ied un iverse a p robab il ity sample is se lec ted , with each establishment having a p rede te rm ined chance of se lection. T o obtain optimum accuracy at m in im um cost, a g rea te r p roport ion of la rge than sm all establishments is selected. When data are combined, each estab lishment is we ighted accord ing to its p roba b i l i ty of se lection, so that unbiased est im ates are generated. F o r e x ample, i f one out of four estab lishments is se lected , it is g iven a weight of four to rep resen t i ts e l f plus three others. An alternate of the same or ig ina l p robab il ity is chosen in the same indus try -s ize c la s s i f i cation i f data are not ava ilab le fo r the o r ig in a l sample m em ber. If no suitable substitute is ava ilab le , additional weight is assigned to a sample m em ber that is s im i la r to the m iss in g unit.

Occupations and Earnings

The occupations se lected fo r study are common to a va r ie ty of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industr ies , and are of the fo l low ing types: (1) O f f ic e c le r ic a l ; (2) p ro fess ion a l and technical;

1 Included in the 96 areas are 10 studies conducted by the Bureau under contract. These areas are Austin. T ex .; Binghamton, N. Y . (New York portion only); Durham, N. C . ; Fort Lauderdale— Hollywood and West Palm Beach, F la.; Huntsville, A la .; Lexington, K y .; Poughkeepsie—Kingston— Newburgh, N .Y . ; Rochester, N. Y. (office occupations only); Syracuse, N .Y . ; and Utica—Rome, N .Y . Ir. addition, the Bureau conducts more lim ited area studies in approximately 70 areas at the request of the Employment Standards Administration of the U .S. Department of Labor.

(3) maintenance and powerplant; and (4) custodial and m a te r ia l m o v e ment. Occupational c lass i f ica t ion is based on a uniform set of job descr ip t ions designed to take account of in terestab lishm ent var ia t ion in duties within the same job. The occupations se lected for study are l is ted and descr ibed in the appendix. Unless otherw ise indicated, the earnings data fo l low ing the job t i t les are for all industr ies combined. Earnings data fo r some of the occupations l is ted and descr ibed , or fo r some industry d iv is ions within occupations, are not presented in the A - s e r i e s tables, because e ither (1) employm ent in the occupation is too sm a ll to p rov ide enough data to m e r i t presentation , or (2) there is poss ib i l i ty of d isc losu re of individual establishment data. Earnings data not shown separa te ly for industry d iv is ions are included in all industries combined data, where shown. L ik ew ise , data are included in the o v e ra l l c lass i f ica t ion when a subc lassif ica t ion of s e c re ta r ie s or t ru ckdr ive rs is not shown or in fo rm ation to subc lass ify is not available.

Occupational employment and earnings data a re shown for fu l l - t im e w o rk e rs , i .e . , those h ired to w ork a regu lar w eek ly schedule. Earnings data exclude prem ium pay for o v e r t im e and fo r work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are e x cluded, but c o s t -o f - l i v in g a llowances and incentive earnings are in c luded.2 Where w eek ly hours a re reported , as fo r o f f ic e c l e r ic a l occupations, r e fe r en ce is to the standard w orkw eek (rounded to the nearest half hour) fo r which em ployees r e c e iv e their regu lar s tra igh t-t im e sa la r ies (exc lus ive of pay fo r o v e r t im e at regu lar and/or prem ium rates ). A v e ra g e w eek ly earnings fo r these occupations are rounded to the nearest half do l lar .

These surveys m easu re the le v e l o f occupational earnings in an area at a par t icu lar t im e. Com parisons of individual occupational ave rages o ve r t im e m ay not re f le c t expected wage changes. The a v e r ages fo r individual jobs are a ffected by changes in wages and em p loy ment patterns. F o r exam ple, proport ions of w o rk e rs employed by high- or low -w age f i rm s m ay change o r h igh-w age w o rk e rs m ay advance to be tter jobs and be rep laced by new w o rk e rs at low er rates. Such shifts in employm ent could decrease an occupational average even though m ost establishments in an area inc rease wages during the yea r . T ren ds in earnings of occupational groups, shown in table 2, are better ind icators of wage trends than individual jobs within the groups.

A v e ra g e earnings re f le c t com pos ite , areaw ide estimates. Industr ies and estab lishments d i f fe r in pay le v e l and job staffing, and thus contribute d i f fe ren t ly to the es t im ates fo r each job. P a y a v e r ages m ay fa i l to r e f le c t accu ra te ly the wage d i f fe ren t ia l among jobs in individual establishments.

2 Special payments provided for work in designated parts of the area by companies not considering such payments a part of the regular salary or hourly rate were not included because of reporting problems. Such instances are few and do not have a large impact on the published data.

A ve ra ge pay le v e ls fo r men and wom en in se lec ted occupations should not be assumed to re f le c t d i f fe rences in pay of the sexes within individual establishments. F ac tors which m ay contribute to d if fe rences include p ro gress io n within established rate ranges, since only the rates paid incumbents are co l lec ted , and per fo rm ance of spec i f ic duties within the g en era l survey job descr ip t ions. Job d e sc r ip tions used to c la ss i fy em p loyees in these surveys usually are m ore gen era l iz ed than those used in individual establishments and allow for m inor d if fe rences among establishments in spec i f ic duties p e r fo rm ed .

Occupational employm ent estimates represen t the total in a ll establishments within the scope of the study and not the number actually surveyed. Because occupational structures among establishments d i f fe r , estimates of occupational employm ent obtained f ro m the sample

of establishments studied se rve only to indicate the re la t ive im p o r tance of the jobs studied. These d if fe rences in occupational structure do not a ffect m a te r ia l ly the accuracy of the earnings data.

Establishment P r a c t i c e s and Supplementary Wage P ro v is io n s

Tabulations on se lected establishment p rac t ices and supplem entary wage p rov is ions (B - s e r ie s tab les ) are not presented in this bulletin. In formation fo r these tabulations, co l lec ted e ve ry 2 years in the past, is now co l lec ted e v e ry 3 years . These tabulations on minimum entrance sa la r ies for inexper ienced women o f f ic ew ork ers , shift d i f fe ren t ia ls ; scheduled workweek ; paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans are presented (in the B-series tables) in prev ious bulletins fo r this area.

Pre s en ted in table 2 are indexes and percents o f change in average w eek ly sa la r ie s of o f f ic e c l e r ic a l w o rk e rs and industrial nurses, and in average hourly earnings of se lec ted p lantworker groups. The indexes are a m easu re of wages at a g iven t im e, exp ressed as a percent of wages during the base period. Subtracting 100 f ro m the index y ie lds the percent change in wages f ro m the base per iod to the date of the index. The percents of change or increase re la te to wage changes between the indicated dates. Annual rates of in c rease , where shown, r e f le c t the amount of increase fo r 12 months when the t im e per iod between surveys was other than 12 months. These computations are based on the assumption that wages increased at a constant rate between surveys. These estimates are m easures of change in ave rages fo r the area ; they are not intended to m easure average pay changes in the establishments in the area.

Method of Computing

The index is a m easure of wages at a g iven t im e and is e x p ressed as a percent of wages in the base year. The base y ea r is assigned the value o f 100 percent. The index is computed by m u lt i p lying the base yea r re la t ive (100 percent) by the re la t ive (the percent change plus 100 percent) fo r the next succeeding yea r and then continuing to m ult ip ly (compound) each y ea r 's re la t iv e by the prev ious y ea r 's index.

F o r o f f ic e c l e r ic a l w o rke rs and industr ia l nurses, the wage trends rela te to regu lar w eek ly sa la r ies fo r the norm al workweek, exc lus ive o f earnings fo r ove r t im e . F o r p lantworker groups, they m easure changes in average s tra igh t-t im e hourly earnings, excluding p rem ium pay fo r o ve r t im e and fo r w o rk on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. The percents are based on data fo r se lec ted key occupations and include m ost o f the nu m er ica l ly important jobs within each group.

Each of the fo llow ing key occupations within an occupational group is assigned a constant weight based on its proportionate e m ployment in the occupational group:

The ave rage (mean) earnings fo r each occupation are m u lt ip l ied by the occupational weight, and the products fo r a l l occupations in the group a re totaled. The aggrega tes f o r 2 consecutive yea rs are re la ted by subtracting the aggrega te fo r the e a r l i e r yea r f ro m the aggrega te f o r the la te r y ea r and dividing the rem ainder by the a g g r e gate fo r the e a r l i e r yea r . The resu lt t im es 100 shows the percent o f change.

L im ita t ions of Data

The indexes and percents of change, as m easures of change in a rea a ve ra ges , are influenced by: (1) Genera l sa la ry and wagechanges, (2) m e r i t or other in c reases in pay r ece iv ed by individual w o rk e rs wh ile in the same job, and (3) changes in average wages due to changes in the labor fo rc e result ing f ro m labor turnover, fo r c e expansions, fo r c e reductions, and changes in the proport ions of w o rk ers em ployed by establishments with d if fe ren t pay le ve ls . Changes in the labor fo r c e can cause inc reases or decreases in the occupational ave rages without actual wage changes. It is conceivable that even though al l establishments in an area gave wage inc reases , ave rage wages m ay have declined because low er -pay ing establishments entered the a rea or expanded the ir w o rk fo rc es . S im i la r ly , wages m ay have rem ained r e la t iv e ly constant, yet ave rages fo r an a rea m ay have r isen cons iderab ly because h igher-paying establishments entered the area.

The use of constant employm ent weights e l im inates the e f fec t o f changes in the p roport ion of w o rk e rs represen ted in each job in cluded in the data. The percents o f change r e f le c t only changes in ave rage pay fo r s tra igh t- t im e hours. They a re not influenced by changes in standard w o rk schedules, as such, or by prem ium pay fo r ove r t im e . W h ere necessa ry , data a re adjusted to r em ove f ro m the indexes and percents of change any sign if icant e f fe c t caused by changes in the scope o f the survey.

The prim ary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau's wage surveys is to a s s is t its field staff in classify ing into aripropriate occupations workers who are employed under a variety of payroll titles and different work arrangem ents from establishment to establishment and from area to area . This perm its the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job content. Because of this emphasis on interestablishm ent and in terarea comparability of occupational content, the Bureau's job descriptions may differ significantly from thos< n use in individual establishm ents or those prepared for other purposes. In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau's field econom ists are instructed to exclude working superv isors; apprentices; learn ers; beginners; train ees; and handicapped, part-tim e, temporary, and probationary w orkers.
